Yes never give up pushing that rock up the hill. I am thinking Texas. If Beto O'Rourke becomes governor then all Abbott's gerrymandering, voter suppression and Stasi abortion laws will be mitigated. Texas holds 38 electoral votes. Texas may be democracy's last stand.

Let's all put our red shoes on click them twice and do whatever we can to help Beto get elected. Send money and work on his campaign. With some luck with Texas staying strong we'll hang onto the Presidency. One can only hope that sooner rather than later Alito and Thomas will meet the patriarchal, profoundly cruel, ideological maker they believe so profoundly in. (I need to confess I hold no such fairy-tale beliefs).

This however is still bandaid - the entire United States political system needs to crash and reboot.
